Cauliflower
I just want to point out that remoulade sauce is excellent on steamed cauliflower, and I am very unhappy to have run out. Barbecue sauce and mayonnaise, when mixed, turn out to be an unacceptable substitute, albeit the same color.

Re: Cauliflower
I looked that sauce up online. Aren't we really just talking about a snooty 1000 island dressing or should I say "Big Mac Sauce?"
I am baking breaded pork loin medallions over a bed of portella mushrooms. Salad on the side. Six minutes to go.

Re: Cauliflower
Umm, no islands. I thought it was more like mayo mixed with ketchup, but spicy. That's why I thought BBQ sauce would do it, but it didn't. Now that I looked it up, I see it has mustard and horseradish.
Your dinner sounds a lot more interesting than a head of steamed cauliflower.

Re: Cauliflower
I was raised with cheese sauce on cauliflower, but now I just like in blanched and plain.

Re: Cauliflower
I remember a few years ago when the Atkins/South Beach low carb craze was the in thing, there was a local restaurant (can't remember right now if it was Applebee's, Chili's, or Ruby Tuesday's) that had made this mashed cauliflower side item. It was meant to be a low carb alternative to mashed potatoes. That was some good stuff. I need to find a good recipe for that.

Re: Cauliflower
I prefer my cauliflower sautéed with potatoes and panch foran. (That's kalonji,fennel, fenugreek, cummin and black mustard seed.)

Re: Cauliflower
My sister has been e-mailing about the wonderful pepe tunga they have been consuming down in NZ, I'm betting a sauce of that would taste good with cauliflower.

Re: Cauliflower
I like mine curried, with or without potatoes, kinda similar. I do the curry light on the sweeter spices, so light on the ginger, heavier on cumin, coriander, fenugreek. The sauce is lightly browned onions, yogurt, and a little water, just enough to coat everything with the spices.Innocent Bystander wrote:I prefer my cauliflower sautéed with potatoes and panch foran.

I do like it with cheese sauce, but have to consider the lipid profile, which isn't getting any better with age.

Re: Cauliflower
I prefer to have cauliflower lightly steamed. However, when my wife cooks, she isn't very attentive to the stove (playing computer games, etc.), and I usually get (like last night) cauliflower mush.

Re: Cauliflower
Mushy vegetables are a Southern tradition. Unfortunately, I'm not from around here.

Re: Cauliflower
Mushy vegetables were my Gran's speciality. If the sprouts weren't on at the start of November they wouldn't be ready by Christmas Day.

Re: Cauliflower
Once I was visiting my folks, and dinner was going to be spaghetti. My mother tossed the spag in the water at maybe 5:30. We usually eat at 6, so I asked if dinner was going to be early. She said, no, it was going to be late; the spaghetti needed to boil for 45 minutes(!). She added, "Al dente isn't in your father's vocabulary." He's the same with vegetables. Beans cook for 45 minutes, broccoli cooks for 45 minutes, asparagus, anything I can think of except corn on the cob. He's not from the South either; no idea where it came from.
